From Sodom to Spinello up the spiritual exercises to the Roman Curia, while in the world of the unreal no one realizes that the monastic life is dead and what remains is a parody: "You call them if you want, emotions"

I would like to read something good sometimes, please!
I've been to Barroux where I met the Benedictine monks of a different mold and I think there are others in other monasteries not only in Europe.
Another example is St. Benedict at Monte, Norcia.
In a previous article she told how for the World Day of the priesthood is Bianchi chose to teach something valuable. Allow me a pitch invasion by a layman. But why? It only needs a player to let him read a book on spirituality:
“Here there must be no half measures, mediocre men,
Christians half: all or nothing. An absolute principle,
rigorous conclusions, the extreme, and accepts everything
unflinchingly, and Run, glue coldness of reason and
the ardor of faith. Not interested calculations, notice to vile pretexts
and the fearful distinctions: pRINCIPLES, pRINCIPLES!… Christianity
whole wheat, in the absolute fullness of truth.
O heart, God did so great, you are not done for
vegetating in half measures, and border on the ground co’ yours
petty tricks. You do not feel the need of free air, Of
full light and nutritious foods? How you can adapt to live
meanly and to die as a being useless? Come here and
learns the goddess secret the secrets of life, of life in all its fullness and
in his incomparable truth…”

father ariel,
you have been very kind and polite, and I would like to praise you, This descriptive for your kindness. I would not be able to describe the anteroom of Hell calmly as you did.
I lived in that abbey from 1977 until the mid-80s, coming out of it already solemnly professed priest and after seeing much worse than that to which you alone hints. We postponed the date on who supports it and who has the right prior …
But you've said what “you should say”, and you know that, certain people, somehow tries to make you pay, because there is no shortage of powerful friends, especially in Rome.
Today I am happily diocesan priest from 25 years and what I have lived within those walls back every so often to my mind in the form of nightmares that try to chase away.
They are always in touch with other two former monks, Today secular priests like me in two Italian dioceses, I've heard both this morning, talking about your article.
If you had problems of any kind do not delay to contact me at the address I sent you a private email, because all three deporremmo in your favor before any ecclesiastical authority saying that in your article you just mentioned, with great delicacy and calmness, a tragedy that has continued for decades.

To me having to read other people's vices and health problems is sincere or pray and sacrifice for them, or close your eyes for not daring to believe me worthy of pointing, lifetime, finger on others fragility.
Dear Rosa Rita,
told by one who for daring to speak the truth in difficult times – when on certain issues it existed absolute clerical silence – and you will pay dearly for life, the wonder: does not believe that if today we are in the clear and undeniable conditions in which we live, it is because you applied the misconception “who am I” O “Who you are you to point the finger?”.
Or maybe you have not noticed by chance that the courts, rightly or wrongly, They have already been sentenced to prison several cardinals?
And if tomorrow, the next conclave, instead of the Sistine Chapel is held in the Roman prison of Regina Coeli, what do you think of saying … “Who am I to point the finger at other people's frailties”?
My experience teaches me – I talk scope ecclesiastical – that those who have long hidden behind not point fingers, while the Church was being vilified and prostituted by their own children in their sight, are cowards yesterday, of today, of tomorrow and always.
I try also some pastoral and theological discomfort on today much used word “fragility”.
Indeed, what I relate, I am by no means of unspecified “fragility”, sins that are abhorrent to use a biblical expression "cry to God for justice"
The iconography shows that the Gay Pride have not invented anything, and always there it goes to parry, despite the different degrees of fineness. Even in some “TV” Venetian era are seen (from behind) certain gondoliers are simply aggraziatissime, young and dreamy feminine figures, real girls, what a per se does not perturb us at all if we did not know that males are impossible. The Venetian Marin Sanudo chronicler often tells of the spread of sodomy vice in the city and the Republic of concern in this regard. So much so that it then began to indirectly encourage the production on an industrial scale of prostitution, starting from “advertising” boobs, just to bring men on “right way”. For this then Venice became the world capital of “cortigiane”. Clearly, a civilization always ends the same way: in a filthy hole. Me I often wonder when I see so many people walking on the street, even older, so ridiculously whimsical in the care of their image, or squeezed in tight dresses, even when – for lack of delicate features – non propriamente babes shall rule.
... but tell that to some "traditionalists" lovers era of medieval gold, When, according to them, Working from the lowliest to the artisan wealthiest, the merchant to monaco, from vassal to the king, everyone did their job in an exquisitely ordered world to the Highest Good, or to put it more orthodox way, Being Subsistent, ie God.
These samples of a misunderstanding traditionalism are never going to understand that what we call "modernity" is not born as a bad result only from hell, but also from a need, from a need of purification and clarity, of which the Council of Trent is an expression.
His criticism of certain traditionalists has fully hit the mark: They have no sense of history and not just idealize the Middle Ages, but also the ancien regime in general, exalting figures like Prince Eugene of Savoy because he had fought against the Turks. Pity it was also the main protector of Pietro Giannone and, a Vienna, put at the disposal of Italian intellectuals its rich library, full of books and heterodox already protomassonici. But this will never hear the words by traditionalists.
How he does understand Don Ariel in his articles, every historical era has had its serious problems to be addressed.
…..He feels whole and the profound bitterness of those who, knowing how and when evil attacks and makes its nest , Mourning and can not do is warn the next….
